Stefano Langone of 'American Idol' Was Arrested for DUI

'American Idol' contestant Stefano Langone might be a little bit of a hypocrite: After tearfully talking in his audition about a narrow scrape with death in a 2009 drunken driver-related car crash, it turns out Langone himself was nabbed for DUI just a year after the incident.

Star magazine writes Langone was busted by a Washington State Patrol trooper for "speeding and changing lanes without signaling." Langone then failed a field sobriety test and was arrested.

"While en route [to police headquarters], Langone began singing," the arresting trooper said in his report, which Star obtained.

Stefano competed as part of the top 13 on 'Idol' last week. See Langone's audition, where he talks about the accident that "changed my life, unfortunately for the worse":

Lawrence Taylor was charged May 6 with raping a 16-year-old runaway who police said was forced into prostitution by a man who had beaten her up. He was arrest at a Holiday Inn in Montebello, NY and is also charged with solicitation.

He's the best male voice in the show. He's not a screamer, a screeher, a Sylvester wannabe, a Rod Stewart wannabe or a Randy Travis wannabe. His vocals are pure and he's the closest to what an idol should be. He made a mistake and we all learn from our mistakes. Move on.

Please forward me the handbook on what the "American Idol" is supposed to represent. I lost my copy. Meanwhile, you have a long ways to go to be as talented as this young man. Wish him well. Oh and what is it about Laura Bush that you forgive her so. She only killed some poor bastard while she was drunk.
